ferentf elevations; the lowerfdisk k projectsV The ldisks 5 `-andE 9ct a driver are fixed on a reduced part ofthe latter by means of yscrew nut lvco-operating with screw thread on the driver; Vla. set pin L16 passing through the Ydisks 5-and9 andfpenetrating intothe body Vof the driver prevents a turning of said disksrelatively tothe driver. Below thegear wheel 4 a sleeve member 17 is provided having a Vdish-shaped enlargement 18 in its upper part. The llower end of the boss of the driver 3 lits into a cylindrical recess 17' provided inthe sleeve member 17 and is `secured to the latter by a .set screw V19. The sleeve member 17 is supported by a base part131 resting on the tablel 1. By these means the height of the driver 3 relatively to the .table 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the extent to which the low-erend of' the driver projects into the cylindrical recess 17.

`In the present example the bolts for locking the spool-carriers to one or therother of two adjacent drivers comprise the pins 20 which are guided in bores 21prov1ded in the body of the gear wheel. In'the embodilnent of the invention illustrated in the drawings the bores 21 are inclined. towards thefaxisbf the driver. To the lower end of: the pin 20 a plate 22 affording the mentioned cam-portion of the bolt is rigidly connected, the outer Vend Vof which is shaped as a knife edge 23-and the inner end 24;

f adjacent to the driver is recessedto a oylndrical surface which 12o-operates with. the outer circumference ofrthe dish-shaped ex tension 18 of the sleeve member 17 in order to prevent a turning motion of the locking means around the axis of the pin 20. The upper endv of the latter is bevelled and is adapted `to enter into a cylindrical recess 25 provided onthe lower side ofthe disk. 11

Aforming the Vcoupling portion of the spoolcarrier. The rofilerof the recess 25. correspends to the inclination Vof the bevelled upper "end of the pin 20. A At the side of each pine-2G a bore 26is provided in the body of the gear wheel in which bore a compressionspring 2'? is housed and whichuis detaehably connected with the locking memend of the spring `forming a hook 28 whichenters a holewprovided in 'theV plate 22.- The`spring27-tendsto urgetbe bolt intheupward direction and in the disengaged position the plate or cam-portion of said bolt rests against the surface 29 of the driver; the left hand locking means'on the left-hand driver of Fig. l is illustrated in its position when not engaging a spool carrier. 20 denotes a circular groove'for lubricating all the pins 20 of a driver. In

Vorder to prevent the knife-edged ends of the plates or coupling portions 22 of `adjacent'drivers from striking against each other during the rotation of the drivers, the surfaces 29 of adjacent drivers are arranged at different elevations.

In order to remove a bolt it is'isuiiicient to 1 disengage the end 28 of the spring; the bolt may then be drawn out in the downward direction withoutA any dismantling of the driver. f

In order to prevent a rotation of a spoolcarrier during the transfer of the latter from one driver to the adjacent driver there is that it can be rclamped by means of the Set pins 34 and35 to the arbor 8 of the spoolcarrier, overwhich it is pushed.

AvThe transfer of a spool carrier is carried out in the Vfollowing manner :A j

f In the disengaged position of the locking means,'i. e., when no spool-carrier is inserted in the notch 6 l'of the disk 5 arranged above theY locking means or bolt, the latter is pressed by the action` of the spring in the upward direction so that the upper face. of the plate r 22'bears against the face 29 of the driver. The insertion ofa spool-carrier into a driver is ei'ected by pushing the spool-carrier sidewise upon the disks 5 kand v9 whereby the bevelled edge 30 .of the disk or coupling portion 11 glides over the bevelled end of the `pin 2O and causes a displacementof Vthe latter in the downward direction against the action Vof the spring 27 Toward the end of this sidewisemovement when the spool-carrier has fully entered the notch 6fthe pin. 20, under the action of its spring, enters into the circular groove 25. VThe bevelled end of the pin 2O abuts against the bottoni of the groove 25 and the upward movement of the boltv is limited thereby. In Fig. 1 the bolt of the right hand driver is illustrated in this position and it Vwill be seenfrom the drawof the driver but is at a lowerlevel.
